While we all await patiently for some new Cranes news, I thought I'd update everybody on a couple current Cranes related side projects making headway recently...

Jon Callender has yet another new band called Helsinki with vocalist Hayley Alker. Experimental/Electronica sound comparible to old Portishead. Jim Shaw even plays guitar on one of their tracks 'Helsinki Sunset'. Add them to your myspace and send them a message to let them what you think....

Also Carmen Rosa (Ben Baxter and Jon Callender) have a brand new track for download called "On A Ceiling". It might be released as a future single for them. Once again, feel free to mail them and tell them if you dig it..
